Rishi Sunak's election campaign faced heavy criticism after a visit to Belfast's Titanic Quarter led to comparisons with a sinking ship.

Asked if he was the captain of a sinking ship, Sunak's visit was labeled shambolic, adding to a series of presenting blunders.

Former Tory leader Ruth Davidson and LBC presenter Iain Dale criticized the planning of Sunak's tour.

Davidson suggested a 'double agent' might be involved due to poor choice of locations.

Sunak's gaffes, including a failed election announcement and awkward Q&A sessions, were ridiculed by Labour.

The tour's missteps contribute to a growing 'loser narrative' around his campaign.
